The 42-year-old singer's husband Nick Cannon, 31, hosted "Family Day" at Santa Monica Pier on Saturday. The proud parents posed for photographers with their twins Monroe and Moroccan, 17 months. Carey, wearing a sexy red dress, held daughter Monroe, who styled little white glasses that matched her white party dress. Looking casual in cargo pants, sneakers and a T-shirt, Canon carried his son, who was dressed up in khaki pants and a blue sweater.

"This is one of the best, most passionate, dynamic and invested judging panels we've ever had," the producers shared about judges Carey, Minaj, Keith Urban and Randy Jackson. "We love and support all of the judges and the fantastic work they are doing, and we can't imagine a better group to find the next American Idol."
